Introduction

Physiotherapists provide holistically driven interventions to their clients with a primary focus on exercise. The client and all factors associated with them, including their diet, have a profound influence on the outcome of the prescribed exercise. It has been found that nutrition plays a key role in recovery and influences functional capacity. Thus, it is important to understand the relevance of nutrition in physiotherapy practice.
